May be this is a Flash problem, or may be not…

I’m trying to send data to my database through Flash. I’ve got some fields and I’ve got a submit button. On press, it will send data off using:

```auto

getURL("(myServer).php","_blank","POST");

```

Why do I find something like this in the address bar?

…/highscores/new\_score.php?player\_name=test48&time\_complete=489&resources=379&accuracy=34&combo=598&general=69

Aren’t they supposed to be hidden when using the POST method? What’s the problem? How to solve it?

Thanks in advance.
